Not many docs on the "ide" task type #27

Closed mikehearn closed 3 years ago

mikehearn commented 4 years ago

There's a way to teach people how to use the IDE using the "ide" task type, but the docs don't really explain this or how it's different to a theory lesson. It's not really clear to me how to write such tasks.

Hi Mike, it's Ilnur again. We have more information regarding the different task types in our Educator Start Guide: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/education/educator-start-guide.html?section=Java#create_course.

I'm going to create an article describing our guidelines for the course creators. And of course, in this article, I'll describe in detail how to create different tasks.

You can track the progress of my work on YouTrack: https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/EDU-3184.

Great, thanks. I guess some examples of how to teach people how to find buttons/menu items, what they do etc would be good.

igalimov commented 4 years ago

Sure, I'll add these details to our documentation. And I'll do my best to make this guide easy to understand and informative.

mikehearn commented 4 years ago

Thanks, sounds good.

Good day @mikehearn,

I've added the information regarding IDE tasks into our documentation; please check it out: https://www.jetbrains.com/help/education/educator-start-guide.html?section=Java#create_course. It's under step 3.
